And it starts, NO shot, no entry

What's interesting is my heart surgeons , when i told them i was suppose to get the shot from the va. Said, DO NOT get the vaccine, before my surgery, or for anytime down the road. .

My sister has a pace maker. Her cardiologist said the covid vaccine is too risky.

So did my cardiologist and thoracic surgeon. I'm scheduled for the vaccine before surgery. DO NOT GET THE VACCINE! Oddly enough there's a lot in the medical profession who have decided to opt out.
I suspect some legal push back since it's not a law one must be vaccinated, yet.

Wow, so there must be some concern about impact to the heart - makes one wonder what's really in that vaccine. Is that standard practice (to avoid vaccine's prior to anything heart procedure related)? I know I had plenty of strange vaccinations when I was active duty, even one in the first Gulf War that was "experimental" and could give me VA benefits (I've not researched that yet).

Good Luck Sir!

Thanks. I'm week 2 out of quadruple bypass. I was "told" to avoid the vaccine for the foreseeable future.

Even more interesting. when i contacted the VA, to reschedule (1st & 2nd) time. I was told, no problem. Inquiring, i asked. Were we not suppose to have the 2nd shot within 30 days? Oh yeah, but don't worry. When you can, come in for it. ???
